Ukraine\u2019s Security Service (SBU) has established specialised cybersecurity centres across all regions of the country to bolster defence against Russian cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure.<br \/>\nThe new centres are designed to detect vulnerabilities, prevent incidents, and neutralise threats before they can cause damage, the agency said, Caliber.Az reports, citing SBU.<br \/>\nSpeaking at the Kyiv International Cyber Resilience Forum, Vladimir Karastelev, head of the SBU\u2019s Cybersecurity Department, said the network of regional centres is strategically located near key facilities to enable rapid response to emerging cyber threats. He emphasised that the approach is proactive, with teams monitoring and securing vital systems around the clock.<\/p>\n<p>Karastelev added that enhancing Ukraine\u2019s digital capabilities has become a \u201cmodern super-priority,\u201d directed by SBU chief Evhen Khmara. \u201cTo defeat a powerful enemy, we need to stay a step ahead,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nSince the start of Russia\u2019s full-scale invasion, the department has reportedly neutralised more than 14,000 major cyberattacks and critical incidents. Targets have included central government resources as well as energy, transport, and defence sector enterprises.<br \/>\nKarastelev highlighted a recent operation against the Pterodo virus, which had infected an estimated 18,000 devices in Ukraine over recent years. SBU specialists developed software that blocks the transfer of stolen data to Russian hackers, encrypting the information in transit without needing to cleanse each infected device individually.<br \/>\n\u201cCyber resilience and cybersecurity are built through collaboration. They cannot be achieved by one country alone; they require joint effort,\u201d Karastelev said.<br \/>\n\u201cUkraine\u2019s wartime experience has practical value and is already being shared with our partners. Readiness to act together, mutual trust, and knowledge exchange are the foundations of collective security. Cyberspace will remain a battleground even in peacetime.\u201d<br \/>\nBy Aghakazim Guliyev<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ukraine launches regional cybersecurity centres to counter Russian attacks https:\/\/caliber.az\/en\/post\/ukraine-launches-regional-cybersecurity-centres-to-counter-russian-attacks Publish Date: 2026-02-26 07:53:00 Source&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":190800,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/caliber.az\/media\/photos\/original\/e8a772cb1561f6f149e7b89c9fb79cfe.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[24],"class_list":["post-190799","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-cybersecurity"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/190799"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=190799"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/190799\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":190801,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/190799\/revisions\/190801"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/190800"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=190799"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=190799"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=190799"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
